I don't have any recommendation offhand for a low price package, hopefully
others will. If your setup could be considered "personal" in that it is not for

You would have to read the agreements at the various vendors websites. Some will
not even install on a server operating system though some publishers have trial
period downloads for evaluation. --- Steve
